Hey, you people at the WSJ are learning from Fox News. The most read story is "CDC: Castrating Lambs With Your Teeth May Make You Sick." Nothing like tabloid journalism to distract people from the issues.

It is sad to see all those that are proponents of allowing young girls to be able to have easy access to this. It reflects a couple of discouraging features of society. First of all, it is disheartening to see the lack of support for parental involvement. It is the parent's responsibility to teach their children the difference between what is right and what is wrong. However, this has lost its impact in today's society because of the lack of belief in absolute truth. While many believe people should be able to do what they want without interference from others, when something bad is done to them, they think consequences should result. However, our standards between right and wrong are skewed because we have done away with the very thing that provides a clear standard and absolute truth, the Bible. The loss of this absolute truth has led to a loss in the importance of parenting. Furthermore, it has led to the loss of the sanctity of human life. There is still much debate about what Plan-B actually does and there are a lot of terms in the debate that are left ambiguous. If we, as a society, valued human life, we would want to steer clear of anything remotely close to doing away with a human life. We would realize that humans are created in the image of a God. We would realize that although we deserved eternal death for the consequences of our actions, He made a way through sending His Son, Jesus, to die on the cross and to be raised from the dead, thus taking our place in death so that we can have eternal life. We would realize that each individual was made in this image and that each individual is precious to this Creator, therefore, we would realize that we need to do whatever is in our power to keep precious lives from being destroyed.

Once again another story that neglects to mention that women over the age of 17 must show a valid, government-issued ID to purchase this from behind the pharmacy counter. That means: driver's license, passport, or state-issued ID. I'm in my 40s, and I need to show ID to buy something that is incredibly safe. I also have to find a pharmacy COUNTER that is open and one that is willing to stock it. If I live in the middle of nowhere, I can't buy it over the internet like cough syrup or other over-the-counter drugs (some of which are more potentially harmful than this). And I have to ask some pimply faced drugstore clerk to hand it to me.

It is completely ridiculous that adult women have to be subject to these kinds of restrictions on access on something proven as safe as this drug.

Jen Lynch I understand completely and I agree with you.

And I have a couple of my own reactions to what the government has now done.

First, after decades of giving more and more and more powers to government to intrude on our lives, we should not be surprised that the government will actually, you know, intrude on our lives. I think we should not be surprised. Somehow, we are always surprised. How can that be?

Second, we keep electing people who keep passing more laws that authorize government to intrude on our lives. Why do we elect these people? Why do we RE-elect them? I think we should not be doing that . But that’s just what we do. How can that be?

It doesn't end a life people. It keeps the sperm from possibly implanting into an egg. It doesn't destroy the sperm or the egg. Some people need to read and understand before they comment. This does basically the same thing as regular birth control and will not kill a fertilized egg. Before you jump on the band wagon that this is murder do your homework.
